Research suggests each geriatrician should care for no more than 700 patients; the current ratio of providers to older patients is 1 to 10,000. In some respects, geriatrics has been remarkably successful in disseminating principles and practices meant to improve the care of older adults. Under this model, older adults with acute but non-life-threatening illnesses get care at home, managed closely by nurses and doctors. In July 2019, the American College of Surgeons created a program with 32 standards designed to improve the care of older adults. The bright lights, noise, and harried atmosphere in hospital emergency rooms can disorient older adults.

It also happens to be the most important skill every therapist needs to be good at their job: reflective listening. But there's one powerful tool we teach that can be used not just in your intimate relationships, but with friends, family and even coworkers. The goal of reflective listening isn't to solve the problem for the other person, but rather for them to feel validated and heard. Begin the conversation with the person who has the object; the other person doesn't get to talk until they're handed it.

CNN —For the first time, the US Preventive Services Task Force has recommended screening for anxiety in children 8 and older. In its final recommendations, published Tuesday in the medical journal JAMA, the task force also urged screening for depression in children 12 and older, consistent with recommendations from 2016. The members considered recommendations on screening for suicide risk in children and adolescents but said there’s not enough evidence on its harms and benefits. Last month, the task force posted draft recommendations that for the first time said adults under 65 be screened for anxiety. “It is not coincidental that the USPSTF considered evidence for suicide and depression screening in the same updated Evidence Report and Systematic Review,” he wrote.
The task force defines anxiety disorders as "characterized by greater duration or intensity of a stress response over everyday events." Screening tools already availableThe anxiety recommendation would apply to adults 19 and older who do not have a diagnosed mental health disorder. The statements are for anxiety screening in adults over the age of 65 and for screening of suicide risk in adults. The task force members also hope the recommendations will elevate awareness about the need for mental health screening and treatment. "We would like people to be honest, to provide their input and perspectives," Pbert said, adding that the task force will read every comment.
